Noel, I'm using FF right now and see it on almost any page. If I'm reading this thread and move from the third page to the fourth and hit Back it just sits there. I have to hit Back a 2nd time for it actually go back to the third page.

I can't say that it happens 100% of the time, but enough to notice it and get annoyed by it.

Noel,

The Back button issue was brought up here:

The legend still needs a patch - we're running gray icons on an identical gray backgound, so the only visible pixels are from the (now incorrect) matte to white. "New" is equally hinky:

To quote Zaphod, "It's the weird colour scheme that freaks me. Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls, which are labeled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it."

One suggestion in connexion with the information under the avatar still under construction:

The post count is related to the date mentioned and is probably right, but for many of us, the date has nothing to do with the date of joining the forums. It is merely a date

I, for one, started posting in two of the forums in the previous millennium, so I was a well established native that late summer day in 2006. Some natives that were already there when I joined have even later dates under their avatars, as far as I remember as late as some time in 2009.

And one of the most knowledgable natives I have ever met, and who has seemed to have always been here (and has posted as lately as yesterday), has no post count and no date at all (and even no (default) avatar at all), thus seemingly having managed in some way to escape back to the bliss of the fair forums where all were equal.

I presume it has to do with the merging of forums and earlier attempts to change the forum formats, (some of) the natives of the WebX forums having a greater part (or all) of their past left out.

I would suggest the wording:

[Number of] posts

Since [day]-[Month]-[Year]

This would be correct/coherent information, as well done as it can be when the original date of joining the forum is lost.

Jacob, I believe that is how the Jive quick search works. When I use it I always use the See More Results button so that I get a full set of search results that I can return to. If you just select from the five items in the drop down box you will lose the search because you never left the page you were starting from, that is just an overlay on the current page.

Thank you, John.

You are right about the use of the word since. I just looked into my archive, and it was in the first line with the post count.

Jacob, if you use the Discussions view of a forum (add ?view=discussions to the specific forum url) you can go to a message and then use the Back button to go back to where you were in the list, such as forums.adobe.com/forumname?view=discussions#/?page=4

John,

If you just select from the five items in the drop down box you will lose the search because you never left the page you were starting from, that is just an overlay on the current page.

I believe you will have to make that clear somehow: most will expect to be somewhere else they can go back to when they have clicked on something that brought them away, and if they find what they expect among the few search results they have no reason to click to see more, so they will expect to be able to look through those. I did when I tried it.

I believe that is how the Jive quick search works.

Argh. Just argh.

John,

you can go to a message and then use the Back button to go back to where you were in the list,

I know, and I do that, with the usual double use of the button. Was the disabling of the other, main option of clicking Up to the current forum part of a simplification?

I am not able to duplicate having the Last Reply link in the fist message take me back to that same message. It takes me to the last reply. Only thing I can think of there is that it might use the same logic to take you to the last message that was modified, and that at the point in time that you clicked on it that first message was the one that was last touched by the system.

I’m not saying that the italics bother you. But seeing italics there means you are not seeing the correct data.

The browser cache is not related to cookies or history. In IE8/XP you need to go to Tools > Developer Tools and then select to clear the full cache or only the current domain. I am hoping that it is similar in Win7.

John

I do not quite see what the point is of having the Last Post Date and Modify Date twice...:

One is clickable (leading to the last post in the topic), the other one is not.

Dave, where are you seeing the legend like that with those items in it?
